Ultrastructure of spermatozoa from Japanese quail
Poultry Science, 2000 A monoclonal antibody (mAb) to epitopes on mitochondria from turkey spermatozoa cross-reacted with Japanese quail spermatozoal mitochondria. However, the pattern of binding was different from that observed for turkey sperm. The ultrastructure of quail spermatozoa was examined to determine the reason for this difference in antibody binding pattern ...

Scents of care: Multispecies relations in Pakistan's heatwave
The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how odour, intensified by heat, shapes the sensory aspects of social and multispecies relations in Pakistan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Kasur's tanneries and Lahore's animal shelters during a period of record‐breaking heat, it analyses how smell structures inclusion and exclusion, mediates encounters with humans

Developmental stages of the Japanese quail
Journal of Anatomy, 2009 AbstractDevelopmental biology research has used various avian species as model organisms for studying morphogenesis, with the chick embryo being used by the majority of groups. The focus on the chick embryo led Hamburger and Hamilton to develop their definitive staging series nearly 60 years ago and this series is still the mainstay of all laboratories

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Cerebrovascular regulation during heat stress
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Given that the brain is a highly metabolic organ and is enclosed by the skull, effective regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), not only for oxygen and nutrients supply but also as a means of convective heat exchange, is critical for preventing excessive elevations in brain temperature.

Transbuccal Hypophysectomy in the Japanese Quail
Poultry Science, 1969 Abstract THE transbuccal approach of Hill and Parkes (1934) has proven to be a rapid and reliable method for hypophysectomy in Japanese quail. Although this approach requires considerable skill and causes some interference with the bird’s ability to feed, it has been widely used in the chicken because it allows good exposure of the anterior pituitary
